Understanding the Role

Kettering Health Hamilton is adding a non-invasive general cardiologist to meet growing patient demand in Butler County, one of the fastest-growing counties in the Cincinnati metro area.

The position is based at the Kettering Health Hamilton Hospital campus, with clinic space in the attached Physician Office Building and one to two satellite locations.

Why This Position Exists

Cardiology census at Hamilton Hospital runs approximately 25 to 35 patients per day, with cardiology accounting for roughly one-third of total admissions. Demand consistently outpaces current capacity, and Kettering Health plans to open a second position as soon as this role is filled.
